I am Baffled

I just came home from my morning walk in the cemetary. I met a new lady who lost her 40 year old daughter, the youngest of 4 girls after she fell backwards on a set of narrow stairs. She struggled for 8 days and then died. This lady also had 4 daughters, and her youngest just passed, even as my youngest snatched her life out of this world.  Deborah took her life. How I wish we knew what was troubling her to this point of pain. The coroner stated that she likely died from a heart attack before she hit the water at the speed she was traveling off the deck of the Patullo Bridge. As I watched a funeral about to proceed while we assembled for our walk; just four ladies, I couldn't help but witness the grieving people, the young teenagers. This time, it was the funeral of an old lady, and Deborah's funeral, attended by over 500 people were primarily all young students. It is hard for me to watch the young grieve. A life un-lived, taken too soon. There seems to be no justice in it, if it wasn't for God.. BUT GOD.. we are a people of faith and hope. If it wasn't for God, how can one even contemplate to carry on. I know I couldn't.
One of the ladies on our walk asked for my opinion about a professors speech, 'My God, My Body, and My Life". She is a lady who believes in the freedom to do what you want with your body, life, etc etc. I was honored to have her ask me. I responded, that I would then like to ask the professor who Is His God??? Does His God permit the murder of a baby in one's womb, just because it is so young it hasn't come out of the birth canal just yet? Does His God permit the murder of a 95 year old because he is too old to drive a car? If one's God is a God of intelligent design, then we must assume that we can only do what pleases God, and also to hate what God hates. She thanked me for my answer. I am totally baffled by how a person can grow old and still not know the Intelligent Design who created them. I am a very privileged woman, to have come to know the Master when I was 22. I know Deborah is free in her body, and is at complete joy and peace with Her Maker. All I can hope for is a swift reunion, in whatever shape or form it comes in.
